the market could hardly be quoted better and
yet more healthy tone, more ready sale
for stock always means q trhe more money
for desirable cattle. Rough heavy and lean
steers were in ample supply and sold slowly
at barely steady prices, but there was a gen.
orally better feeling in trade. Speaking of
the supplies of cattle salesman said: "You

cattle in the country" One cause OF the
recent weakness in tho cattle trade, despite
the light receipts, was the fact that the
weather in the east has been warm and the
stocks. of beef were large. The current
receipts, however, can be easily taken, and
dealers are generally inclined to think the

anism.

The scenic splendors OF the second
act of merlin, Goldmark's new OPP
era, at the Metropolitan opera house,
have never been surpassed in New
York. The scene is laid in the magic
gardens OF Merlin, whittier the demon
has guided Vivien, whose business it 10
to prevent the hero from going to the
assistance OF King Arthur; in short,
to bring him within the power OF ga
tan. The entire act is given up to en-
chantment. The first is the appear
ance OF q mysterious and magical veil
which the demon throws into the air
where it remains floating, and eglow
or afire, while sounds OF sweet, mys-
terious music are heard from unseen
instruments and singers. Suddenly
clouds descend upon the scene, and
when these disappear the enchanted
garden is occupied by the ballet, rep
ressnting spirits OF water, air and
flowers, finally the spirit OF ocean COM
ing upon the scene drawn in n shell
by dolphins and surrounded by her
attendants 1t is q beautiful scene and
the ballet is the feature OF the act,
says the New York World. The re-
suit OF all the bewldering charm Of
the ballet is to make Vivien's conquest
OF Merlin complete, an event which is
celebrated in a love duet betwe, n
the two. Finally the lovers sink up
on messy bank. like Wagner's lovers,
and there remain until Merlin awakens
to the awful consciousness that he
has sacrificed duty to love. At the
close the scene is suddenly transform
ed into wilderness.-New York Paper.

The South Might Give More.

Wilmington IN. C. Star; The South
is not trained to give much. 1t does
not contribute largely for benevolent
causes. 1t does not do big things in
endowing colleges. The North does
much better. 1t is true the North has
the wealth, but the South is not very
poor. How much did the fourteen
Southern states contribute for the
relief OF Charleston? The total amount
given was 1894, 25S. New York gave
$3.50, 500, Massachusetts, gave $780,
$40, and Pennsylvania S65, $50.
Three Northern states gave S346, 1875,
or considerably more than one-half.
One Northern man gives to Wake For
est College $40, 000-more than all
North Carolina has given. Christian
benefcence- sd cheerful hberality
need to be cultivated in the South.
Charleston lost SO, 900, 900 above all
